About Frost Orthodontics
Adults correcting bites later in life and children needing early expander treatment for issues like sleep apnea find complex cases handled here, often without surgery, under Dr. Frost.
Reviews at Frost Orthodontics describe a practice that takes on complicated cases—crossbites, gummy smiles, and jaw issues—often resolving them with braces, rubber bands, or expanders instead of surgery. Adults returning for treatment later in life and young children needing early phase 1 work or palate expanders come up often, including a case where an expander helped a child avoid long-term CPAP use for sleep apnea. Anxious and nervous patients are mentioned more here than typical, with notes about slower, careful technique and frequent check-ins during procedures. Dr. Frost is named repeatedly for personally addressing concerns and explaining complicated treatment plans.

What a great experience @ frost orthodontic. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. The facility is second to none and feels more like a spa than a Dr's office. My son was nervous about getting braces, but after 10-15 minutes with the staff he said he felt like he was right at home!

Dr. Frost is an artist and a perfectionist when it comes to your smile. The staff at Frost Orthodontics are just as impressive—they’re friendly, skilled, and genuinely care about their patients. 10/10, highly recommend!
